Custom Rear Diffuser
 
This was designed around a normal 3G TL bumper. So if you have A-spec or another car, I can't promise how it'll fit..

The mounting hardware is only noticeable when you get down on the floor. From any other perspective, all you see are the diffusers, which are all you're supposed to see anyway. It also retains full use of the rear tow hook due to the cutout.

Diffuser is made entirely of high quality UHMW polyethylene that I bought from McMaster-Carr directly. UHMW has high impact and good tensile strength. It is very sturdy when mounted, just needs a repaint to make it look good up close.

I always have received great compliments from this since it really gives a really aggressive look to the rear.

I want to make a new version, and instead of scrapping it for parts, I thought someone else might enjoy it, which is why I'm selling it

Price will remain Firm: $110 shipped/ $100 local. Even though it originally cost me a little more, the price is based strictly on the value of the hardware alone. Which you can look on McM if you need reference to the value of this plastic.

I might accept trades, depending on what you offer. I don't have anything in mind, but maybe you have something of interest.

Here are pics:

Dibs on it. Just one question, it seems like you have an 07-08 base bumper with that mesh grill on it/ Did you paint that black yourself? What year is your car?

HQTL6SPD 05-10-2010 05:56 PM

I live in Thiells NY, 10984. I don't mind meeting if it's within the county.

The car is a 2004, the diffuser will directly fit any regular bumper between 04-08 (I have a type-s bumper). I did paint it myself, but the top coat wasn't good paint to begin with so recently started coming off. The black was a primer, which held waay better.

donaldso718 05-10-2010 08:58 PM

So where does it bolt onto exactly? The bottom of the bumper?

I'm not sure if it'd look good with my base 05 ssm bumper. It looks really nice on the painted type-s bumper of yours.

HQTL6SPD 05-10-2010 10:25 PM

Good question

It mounts to the rear under cover (the plastic part that surrounds the rear tow hook). This cover is very secure to mount to. The cover itself is very rigid when mounted; up front it bolts down to the chassis with 2 bolts, then 4 clips at the back go into the rear bumper. 2 of those 4 clips snap into metal brackets that extend down from the rear bumper beam. The aluminum brackets on the diffuser hang from the bumper right between the clips (horizontally). The aluminum brackets are kinda sandwiched between the rear under cover and the bumper.

I don't have pics from underneath, but its pretty straight forward, and I can guide whoever installs it.

I'm feeling a bit generous and rather see it on someones car than scrap it for parts. So $85 takes it..

krnchunjae 05-28-2010 06:27 AM

85 shipped? and do i have to paint them again? the one you photoshoped to look like a 04-06 base, will that look like it on my 05? hope its easy to install... lmk

HQTL6SPD 05-28-2010 09:44 PM
